There's regularly a vehicle parked on this yellow curb but rarely a ticket. Union St just north of 7th.
White BMW parked on yellow curb on Union just north of 7th.
White jeep parked in front of hydrant on Union just north of 7th.
Swiped card and meter gave me 7 hours of time. Could only increase, not decrease. Cancelled. Tried again with same result. Display read 9 hours, but charged only for 2. Weird.
The meter on College Ave in front of Goods for Cooks is working (green light) but the screen is not displaying anything so it’s impossible to know how much time you have.
Apologies for submitting this in the "permit" category but there is nothing for "meters". We were parking at 6th and Walnut for lunch. I put a dollar coin in the meter and it just ate it. I had seen a sticker on another meter that showed quarters and dollar coins as acceptable. Apparently not. We then put quarters in. We wanted to pay for an hour, but after 3 quarters it stopped adding time. It ate two more quarters after that.
Same problem as before (sorry it was 6th and College, not Walnut). I just tried to put more money in and it ate it without adding time.
There's a white Ford Ranger that's been parked in front of 313 E 12th from 5 days now without moving. I placed a penny on the left rear tire of the vehicle Friday evening and it is still there. City code provides that vehicles left on the street without moving are consider abandoned after 72 hours. I live in 313 and my fiancée and I would like to park where this truck is, but it's effectively taking up two parking spaces. Thank you.
This is a photo looking south on Dunn from Cottage Grove. I've walked to and from class several days now and there are always cars parked on both sides of the street here. One side of the street (the far side in this photo) has clear No Parking signage. With cars parked on both sides, I don't think fire trucks could make it through here if needed. This appears to be a regular problem area that Parking should check daily if not more frequently.
